Liz Neal remakes one of Elizabeth 1sts iconic garments in a baroque-style fantasy, created from her discarded canvases and filled with patterned and erotic imagery.  She has transported an object from one culture of aspirational opulence to another.

Her rude and crude paintings and installations have an earthy nobility; painterly rhapsodies with a coarse grittiness.

Paul

2003
Oil on canvas
240 x 120 cm

Neal’s Paul is the boy toy du jour; shown together with Chandelier, he’s the ultimate sex club icon. Modelled like a 19th c. parlour painting (think Maja by Goya), Paul is a bit of sleaze for the most decadent connoisseur. Richly painted in Rococo tones, Neal replicates a true sense of Versaille-ish folly; the ornate bordello-style lamp sculpture dripping with all too-real looking ‘pearls of love’. Luxurious and filthy to the core, Neal dreams up a Regency House Party of her own – one far more intriguing than Channel 4’s – but definitely too naughty to be aired!
